Default Big difference

Well, finally had the last phase of the suspension done the other day. Had the Progressive mono tubes installed. So, with the Progressive 440's, True-Trac and now this, what a difference in handling. I'm pretty happy with everything.

Would have been nice to do everything at once but $$$ plays a part every now and then. I think this way, riding the bike at each step makes me believe it was all worth it.
Can't wait to go on a longer ride.

I guess now, I need to save my money and get a better sound system. Bike week is coming up so maybe I can work a deal out there. Sometimes the vendors are willing to deal.

I felt a huge difference with my suspension upgrades - Ohlin 2/2s, Prog Monotubes and Bagger Brace along with my Commandere IIs. Also pretty happy with my tunes.
